I put together a new system this weekend with a P-IV 3.06. I used the stock cooler that came with the CPU. Problem is about one minute after boot the fan hits its maximum of 6000 RPM and the CPU is reaching temps of >70c.

Considering my last CPU was a 1.2 Tualatin that didn't really require much thermal attention and was never actually, you know, heard I'm not quite sure what to do.

Could you experts reccomend a heatsink/fan combo that will cool this thing and most importantly do so quietly.

I am not interested in overclocking the rig right now, so I will definately take quiet over a few degrees of temperature. I need a stable rig to continue beta testing an online game do out quite soon so the last thing I need is some exotic solution.

Any information on a reliable source to purchase what I need would also be appreciated.

Thanks!
